The star all-rounders of the Australia women’s side, Ashleigh Gardner and Ellyse Perry, have carried the wicket-keeper batter of the side, Alyssa Healy, on their shoulders as the latter said goodbye to international cricket, leading her team to a massive victory by 10-wickets against India during the one-off Test with the pink ball.

Alyssa Healy did not get a farewell knock with the bat, but their spinners ensured her international career ended well, with the hosts sealing a commanding win. Gardner and Alana King claimed two wickets each to bowl the Indian side out for a modest 149 in just an hour on the third morning at the WACA Ground in Perth.

The number three batter of the blue brigade, Patika Rawal, was the final wicket to fall after her determined knock of 63 runs in 137 balls. After the win, Gardner and Perry were seen taking to their knees as they helped the veteran sit on their shoulders, with a little help from Tahlia McGrath and Darcie Brown.

Healy was happy to leave the responsibility to the new generation of Georgia Voll and Phoebe Litchfield. The former avoided a duck by overturning an early Leg before the stumps, while Litchfield was dropped on nine runs before they completed the victory by 10 wickets in less than five overs to bag the win.

“Really pleased with that effort. Bouncing back from the T20 series, I sense that coming into the group, there was a bit of disappointment and a little bit of uncertainty. But I guess the way that they responded and came out and played in the last four fixtures has been unbelievable, and I'm really proud, and it's been a great time being with each other.She expressed at the end of the game.

In the first innings, the right-handed batter returned for 13 runs in 27 balls with one boundary as the Australia side grabbed the entire momentum, having been bundled out for 323 runs, and killed the game in that position.

Brief Scores: AUS-W 323 (Annabel Sutherland 129, Sayali Satghare 4/50) & 28/0 (Georgia Voll 16) beat IND-W 198 (Jemimah Rodrigues 52, Annabel Sutherland 4/46) & 149 (Pratika Rawal 63, Lucy Hamilton 3/32) by 10-wickets.
